Back to the River - More Southern Soul Stories 1961 - 1978

A follow up to the award winning 'Take Me To The River', this set looks at three separate strands of the Southern Soul story, bringing you 75 more slices of exquisite music. As before, the tracks run the gamut from well-known classics to little-known and highly valuable obscurities, topped off with a generous helping of previously unissued titles by familiar names. The booklet abounds with scans of highly desirable 45s and rare photos, and once again each of the 75 tracks gets its own individual annotation. It features Bobby Bland, Eddie Floyd, Otis Redding, Dee Dee Sharp, Mary Wells, Toussaint McCall, Bobby Rush, Clay Hammond, Gloria Walker and The Chevelles and more.
